TL;DR: In this paper, a calibration of surface brightness-color (SBC) relations based solely on eclipsing binary stars was investigated, and the results showed that a precision better than 1% is possible with modern high-quality data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the photometric parallaxes of 81 galactic, detached eclipsing binary stars were determined by applying a number of empirical surface brightness color (SBC) relations calibrated on optical-infrared colors, and the weighted mean of the zero-point shift from all colors and calibrations used is d{\pi} = -0.054 +/- 0.024 mas.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors improved the precision of the radius measurements for the stars in AI Phe using high-precision photometry from the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP), and used these improved radius measurements together with estimates of the masses, temperatures and composition of the stars to place constraints on the mixing length, helium abundance and age of the system.

TL;DR: Gillon et al. as discussed by the authors presented the WASP project, which was funded by the Belgian Fund for Scientific Research (Fond National de la Recherche Scientifique, FNRS) under the grant FRFC 2.594.09.F with the participation of the Swiss National Science Fundation.
